As I understand it, if Bash is your default shell and ~/.bash_profile
exists, ~/.profile will not be read, although one could source
~/.profile from ~/.bash_profile. If ~/.bash_profile doesn't exist, then
~./profile will be read. Someone will likely chime in if I got that
wrong.
Otherwise, if you only want it to play at system start rather than at
each login, you could call the player from /etc/rc.local. Just include
the command line above the 'exit 0' line. :-)
